This nightlife of crimefighting has taken its toll and he genuinely looks like crap.Įver the faithful servant, Alfred Pennyworth, this time played by Apes actor Andy Serkis is aimed as a man coming to terms with the monster he helped create. This film gives him strikingly little time out of the cape and cowl and when he is out from under the mask, he’s far from the attractive hunky billionaire playboy. This Batman is still raw and new to the streets but cuts an imposing figure ready to strike fear into the hearts of Gotham’s criminal element. Bruce Wayne is Batman, not Batman is Bruce Wayne. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Nolan films are good - well the first two of the three - but Batman still was relatively an incidental figure compared to the life of Bruce Wayne when it should be the other way around. This is the kind of thing I want to see in a Batman film for a long time. The cape and cowl are practically lifted from Mike Mignola’s Gotham By Gaslight design.įor my part, I loved The Batman, gleefully going to see it at IMAX three times in as many weeks ahead of its arrival on HBO Max where I've honestly lost track how many times I've watched it. Moving away from the heavily Frank Miller-inspired material of the last films, Reeves' The Batman pulls pieces of the classic Long Halloween storyline while cherrypicking bits and pieces of Batman lore that’s part classic early Bill Finger Batman and part gritty hard-boiled Dashiell Hammett detective with nods to the Arkham games and even the 1966 television series. With the fan-dubbed DCEU “Snyderverse” floundering in the wake of the critical drubbing of Batman v Superman and the horrible theatrical version of Justice League and Ben Affleck’s exit from his own solo project, Planet of the Apes shepherd Matt Reeves was brought in to deliver hungry Bat-fans a fresh new take on the masked vigilante. Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) to stop the Riddler’s sinister plot.Īnother day, another take on the world’s greatest detective. With the heart of the city’s rampant corruption pointing towards Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) and his right hand Oswald “The Penguin” (Colin Farrell), Batman will turn to cat burglar Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) and Lt. The city is turned upside down when the sitting mayor is murdered in his home by a criminal called the Riddler (Paul Dano) who leaves provocative clues and letters for the Batman to solve. Murder and mayhem are at record highs before Gotham’s mayoral election. Two years of stalking the night streets of Gotham as the Batman (Robert Pattinson) and Bruce Wayne is no closer to his goal of deterring crime.
